Long-distance gift idea
For the people who live under a different part of the sky
Distance is the whole problem, so a gift that doesn’t have to cross an ocean helps. A star map is delivered as a file, so it can be printed in their city. And it holds the sky from a night you were together.
Two ways to do it
- The night you were together. The night you met, or your last evening before the distance started.
- A matching pair. One map over your city and one over theirs on the same date. Because the sky depends on where you stand, they really will be different. Each design is a separate purchase.
Words that work
